I’m sorry … that’s gotta be tough…
@Sp1999 Yeah 😭😭 its fine though im used to it
I’m so sorry 😔😢 remember u are loved and not alone🤗🙏 make sure to spend time and connect with people that support you and do understand ocd, like the support groups here on nocd, they have them everyday of the week💝 if u feel comfortable, at some point share with your family that it hurts u when they act like that, you can even write it out in a note instead of face to face if thats more comfortable 🤗 remember to be extra kind to yourself and practice self compassion skills , treating yourself like u would a good friend going thru same thing as you are🤗🙏 also, it’s ok to take some space away from them when u need to. Praying for you and sending hugs, hang in there🤗🙏💝
@one step at a time😊🙏💝 Thank you so much 😭💓💓 you’re very sweet
I’m truly sorry ocd especially SO-OCD is no joke. You aren’t alone I promise and just remember things will get better even if it doesn’t feel like it now. I’m rooting for you. You got this!!
@AmandaB345 Thank you 💓✨
It's funny but my soocd subtype seems to pop up during fall and winter, and leaves during spring and summer. Currently it has me overanalyzing my friendship with my friend who happens to be gay. It's really frustrating. What makes this even worse is this friend and I are fairly close, (I see them as a parental type figure) and it makes it really awkward especially when they use words like honey or sweetie. They're biologically female, but identify as he/they, which again doesn't help my OCD. They're like 6 years older than me. Idk I'm just freaking out a bit lol.
I am so angry with ocd. I hate that ocd even exists. I wouldn’t necessarily say I wanted to be a mom when I was younger. I grew up without my mom around. But now my sisters are both moms and I see them and I feel like I’m missing out. But having pocd and hocd has definitely made me feel like it’s completely out of the question. I even made sure my fiancé knew that I didn’t want children/ feel like I can’t have them for fear of hurting them or passing on mental health issues. I was abused growing up and one of my old therapists told me that “people who are abused can become abusers”. That is something that I am not willing to risk. And even though I feel set on that choice, my brain still tells me that I’m missing out. So I’m constantly questioning if I truly feel like I don’t want them or if ocd is convincing me I don’t. Ugh. It’s just so frustrating.
My ocd is ruining my relationship with my kids. Because of the intrusive thoughts I avoid being close to them, hugging or cuddling up to watch tv. My ocd is either telling me I wouldn’t care if harm came to them or it turns everything into something sexual or inappropriate. For example, my daughter wanted to show me how long her nails are so she started scratching my arm gently. It felt so nice and relaxing and I immediately panicked because I was scared the ocd would cause a groinal and I don’t ever, ever want a feeling like that connected with my child even though I know it’s the ocd causing it and not me i’d still feel horrible. I just want to be a normal loving affectionate mom and I can never be that for my kids because of ocd😪 I don’t see any other parents posting about going through this or commenting that they do and how they cope. I feel so alone and defeated.
